Bytes & Bots classes use a loosely structured project-based curriculum. Students work on their own projects in a mentored open technology lab. Enrollment is open year-round. Students discover the applications of STEM subjects as they perform their projects. Mentors assist them with the processes of design, build, program, test, technical report, and project demo.

Please choose a day/time of the week and attend classes for 3 months.Two class per week. Each class period is 60 minutes long. 2 makeups per course. The day/time you choose stays the same for the 12 week period. Switching days/class time is not encouraged as it affects the learning process.

As you know parental observation can hinder/distract the learning activities. To be fair to all the parents, Bytes and Bots does not allow parental observation without prior arrangements. An individual review session may be arranged with an advance written request (Please email admin@BytesandBots.com). We offer optional “debriefing” of the class at the end of each class. Please note that parents and their guests are welcome to attend the Show & Tell presentations. Please ask one of our lab mentors to review each session before your sign out your child.
